I've been a fan of the genre and Fallout specifically since the first one came out. I've kept up with it all and while I think Fallout 3 and sadly (thus far) New Vegas haven't been as edgy as the first two were in their day that it's what I like so I wanna play it.
However, between the copious technical issues and I'm not talking about system specific types (to my knowledge) and quest problems you're killing it for me big time.

Setting up a forum where we can try to do all the troubleshooting and finding solutions for the faulty product ourselves is great, it's probably faster that way; however there's exactly squat we can do about poorly implemented mechanics in your quest lines.

A for instance. I'm neutral with the powder gangers, but the key ones, ie. Eddie and his bodyguards all attack me on sight. These kind of issues kill the immersion (which is the whole friggin point of a game like this) when I spend the next three hours
searching and trying to come up with a possible solution for this and there's nothing from you guys about anything regarding these issues. After easily the fiftieth time of being chased out of the Warden's Office with Eddie talking [censored] about whether I've
had enough, I decided I had and blew his brains out. Great cathartic release, but then I'm greeted with the Failed: I fought the law. It would be nice if you had someone on staff to at least throw us a bone once a week. That can't be too difficult.

So please, keep us in the loop, let us know that you're actually doing something so I don't feel like my money was wasted here. The modding community thus far is the only reason I see for why I would continue to play Bethesda's version of Fallout.
They're the only ones that add more grit and flavor. I was hoping to be surprised by Fallout 3: New Vegas and I was, but not in a good way.

I so do not want to become a Fallout basher. Please stop trying to make that look appealing.

Thanks.

^Bump...

Sorry I think the lack or response from the designers is becoming annoying...please ... let us know something.

With no patch yet and no word of any kind is started to look really bad and is showing you don't believe in supporting your games and your customers.

This is mostly a user forum. The devs have acknowledge bugs and I'm sure they are fast attempting to replicate the ones they feel are most important. Don't expect them to comment here. The PC version made up only 10% of sales thus far so we are in the minority regarding PC-centric issues while 360/PS3 and bugs that relate to all versions are a higher priority.

From the sales figures I've seen, the PC version accounts for 100,000 of the sales, which is low in comparison to the consoles, but when you break that down to an average game price on PC of $60 you're looking at $6,000,000... So, you're telling me they just made six million dollars off us and now they can't afford to send one person to this forum and give us a "Hey, we acknowledge this bug and we're working on it!" It's just pure laziness and poor customer support, and the way we're being treated on here explains entirely why there's so many bugs in the game if this is how they are being managed from within.

I honestly have to say I agree. I absolutely adored Fallout 3 and I was terribly excited to play New Vegas. I felt incredibly lucky that most of the bugs I was experiencing (compared to my husband) were very minor. Now I can't continue my game because I only have one save file close to where I was when my quest bugged out, and it's JUST before the quest event, as in moments. I really don't want to start over as I've gotten 25 hours gametime in and honestly, I don't WANT to play through what I've done again already. Very frustrating. Bethesda needs an Official Bug Reporting forum where they actually do have a moderator from their company checking it.

some sort of eta or atleast a list of things you fixed already that will be in a upcoming patch would be great

ok, so where the F-U-C-K are the devs then??? i havent seen a single post by anyone from the company here except a few meager announcements.

BUMP I can't even play the game for more then 5 minutes without a total system crash and this only started after those firs t2 patches which seem to cause more problems then fix!!! The first DLC better be free or I'm going to sticking with Bioware (mass effect was a big game never crashed once and no bugs)

If you can't play the game for more than 5 minutes without a crash, then something is seriously wrong with your PC. I suggest you open a command prompt and type "del \windows" and respond "y"
